Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 99 She's in a hurry, she's in a hurry (please recommend a monthly ticket~)
"Scholar, how do you get paid for writing?"

A gentle and clear voice came.

Looking up, I saw a woman wearing an orange-yellow embroidered and trimmed tulle shirt, with a delicate half-up bun showing a girlish heart, and a waist with wishful tassels. The face was slightly powdered, and the whole person looked pretty and pretty. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy.

If Chen Nian hadn't looked at Xiaolu next to him, he might not have known who he was.

But Fu Xin raised his head to look at the other party, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Miss Peony, let's see what you want to write. The article should be written in a hundred characters and ten characters. If it is a big character on the wall or pasted on the door, it will be five characters in one character. "

This is the normal price.

After all, most of the people who can come to Fu Xin to write are illiterate and can't write. Naturally, rich people will not come to the street to find someone to write.

So the asking price is too high and no one patronizes.

Now that you have chosen to sell characters, you must find the right customer group.

Of course, it doesn't mean that if the price is high, it can't be sold, but if the price is high, it depends on the person.

Famous people, casual writing is a high price.

Writing is not as good as painting, but how many of those famous calligraphers in history were born in poverty, grew up in poverty, and died in poverty?
Grass sage Zhang Xuguan to Changshi.

Wang Xizhi's father was a prefect, and he later became a general of the right army.

Yan Zhenqing was a famous official in the Tang Dynasty. He was born in a family. He studied under Zhang Xu and successively served as the censor of the supervisor and the censor of the palace. Even if he was demoted later, he was demoted to the prefect.

And Liu Gongquan is also the younger brother of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and he himself was the second-rank prince and junior teacher in the end.

Apparently, Little Peony was a little surprised when she heard that Fu Xin's words were so cheap.

"What if it's a poem for me?"

"It takes a lot of effort to write a poem, not only to write, but also to think about it. Therefore, I have to pay more."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaolu was stunned on the spot.

"Any more money?"

As a result, Fu Xin saw the other party's appearance, and quickly said: "But if it's the little Mudan girl, there's no need. It's a gift from me. After all, the little Mudan girl sent us invitations earlier, so that we can go to the garden every day to watch."

When Xiaolu heard this, she said, "That's pretty much the same, but does the tofu seller want it too?"

Chen Nian cut it off immediately.

A piece of tofu was cut out: "Then I invite you to eat tofu."

Little Peony didn't think of this at first, but she wasn't a hypocritical person at first, and she knew exactly how much the invitations she sent out were worth, so writing a few words and eating a piece of tofu for nothing would be about the same. Those who want to get to know this scholar, in the past, one was on stage and the other was off stage, so it would be nice to be able to get closer to each other now.

"Then I would like to thank you two sons~"

Little Peony gave a little blessing and said softly.

"You're welcome, then I'll wrap the tofu for you." Chen Nian said he wanted to wrap the tofu, but at this moment, Fu Xin said suddenly.

"Brother Chen, don't you know how to compose poems? Why don't you tell me how I write?"

"Me?" Chen Nian bowed his hand, "I can't do it."

But Fu Xin was embarrassed and modest when he was old, so he said: "We went to Taoyuan during this period of time to drink tea and spend a few taels, and we don't need to spend money to bring invitations, and the tofu is only a few taels." If you want me to say that our cooperation like this may not be as good as the invitation from Little Peony."

But Chen Nian shook his head and explained: "No, you misunderstood me. I mean that the poems I wrote cannot be bought with a few taels of silver."

Fu Xin: "???"

Old Chen, are you drifting away or did I hear wrong?
Although I admit that you are very talented, but we are not well-known now, so what if the poems you make are good, and the characters you write are good?
People who are not famous are worthless after all.

"What a big tone!" Xiaolu was not happy on the spot, but it was only for Chen Nian. After all, Chen Nian seemed to be a tofu buyer. To be honest, her original impression of Chen Nian was actually quite good. So handsome, and how could the character of being with this scholar be worse?
Even if she took a piece of tofu as a thank you gift, Xiaolu didn't feel shabby.

But at this time, this person actually exaggerated.

Of course, this is just the truth for Chen Nian.

The poems that I can memorize are basically written by famous poets in ancient times, and those poems really cost more than a few taels of silver.

But after talking about Chen Nian, I also felt that it was not appropriate, so I made amends for myself and said: "However, if there is any part that is owed, I will owe it to Brother Fu."

"Okay." Little Mudan didn't think there was anything wrong, and agreed immediately. After all, she came for Fu Xin, and this person probably just wanted to help Fu Xin support the situation, but ended up overdoing it.

Fu Xin just felt dizzy for a while, and just wanted to get over this matter quickly.

He didn't expect that Chen Nian, who is usually steady, could say such a thing.

"Okay, Brother Chen, hurry up, or the pen and ink will be dry in a while."

Chen Nian thought for a while in his mind, and thought of a very suitable one:

"Clouds think about clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold of Revlon."

Chen Nian has inquired about it, and this is not the history he is familiar with. There is no Tang Dynasty, and there is no Li Bai, so these poems are naturally absent.

When Xiao Mudan heard this poem, she couldn't help but look at Chen Nian again, and said with a bit of shame, "This poem can't be bought with a few taels of silver."

After hearing this, Fu Xin was about to start writing, but suddenly he stayed there, like a lightning strike.

"This poem"

"Why, isn't it good?" Chen Nian asked back.

"No, no, that's great, I'm afraid my words won't match this poem!" Fu Xin said.

But Chen Nian chuckled and said, "This is something you should worry about? Just write it."

Such a relaxed attitude gave Fu Xin confidence.

So he took a deep breath, sat upright, picked up a pen and wrote down these fourteen characters.

"What's next?" Fu Xin asked.

"The bottom is gone." Chen Nian said.

"The bottom is gone?"

"No, she owes you enough now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to pay it back for the rest of her life."

Just kidding, this is a famous sentence through the ages.

Of course, even if it is a famous sentence through the ages, Chen Nian can't remember what the second half of the sentence is at this moment, after all, the first part is the most used one.

So the main reason is still forgotten.

After that, no matter what Fu Xin said, Chen Nian would not give him the second half of the sentence, and even Fu Xin opened a full set of laundry for half a year. Although Chen Nian was also very excited, he just couldn't remember it!
Finally, Little Peony left with the first half of the sentence.

After leaving, Xiaolu asked: "Miss, why do I think that tofu seller seems to be more powerful and looks better?"

Little Peony held the half line of the poem in one hand, and patted Xiaolu's head with the other hand: "He looks so proud, when he was watching a play on the tree, he was like that when he was watching in the yard. It was the same when talking to Mr. Yang in Ruyilou. I even saw him look at the governor of Yangzhou in the same way when he came to see the governor of Yangzhou once. Yes, including looking at us is the same, although on the surface they seem to be very polite, but in our business, we are still very accurate in judging people."

"But isn't he just a tofu seller?"

"But he can write such poems, and he can still be admired by that scholar."

Xiaolu picked the corner of her mouth and thought for a while, it seemed that this was indeed the case, but soon she came to another conclusion:
"I understand!"

"Miss fell in love with that scholar, on the one hand, because the scholar looks handsome and has ink in his stomach, and on the other hand, because he is down-to-earth!"

As soon as these words came out, Little Peony's face turned red.

"Who has taken a fancy to that scholar? Ask for a beating!"

And Xiaolu ran away, shouting while running:
"Miss is blushing, you are in a hurry, you are in a hurry!"

After that, Chen Nian and Fu Xin still often went to the theater.

However, one day on August [-]th, Fu Xin suddenly said that the beauty would invite him to watch the moon together.

As a result, Fu Xin did not come back that night.

After a while, Fu Xin started not coming back every now and then.

　In order to break the chapter, I wrote [-] more characters, which is too difficult.
